Day 1755
What a day in Seahaven Springs! The weather performed its usual theatrical dance—clouds, sun, rain, and a rainbow that the lighting department clearly had fun with—while Bev and Milo discovered that an uninterrupted hour together might be worth more than all the insurance policies in town. Meanwhile, Truman has enlisted some very earnest help in his mysterious investigation, the orchard briefly became paradise, and Friday evening at The Anchor has descended into the sort of wholesome chaos that only this town can muster: conflicting lighthouse theories, a piano being played with more enthusiasm than skill, and compliments being issued in alphabetical order by parties who cannot quite explain why. Tomorrow, we suspect, someone will want answers.
